Don’t mess with an eating elephant…
 

Not even trying…

In the southern Indian city of Mysore a wild elephant became separated from its herd and ended up roaming the streets for five hours. Unfortunately one man was gored to death and many vehicles chased and attacked during its rampage. Each year hundreds of Indians are killed by wild elephants, due to the constant impingement on their land.

This 40’ mechanical machine is called the Sultan’s elephant and is made quite a stir as it made it way through the streets of London. It was designed by Francois Delarozière, and commissioned to celebrate the death of Jules Verne. The elephant is operated by a crew of 22 and is powered by a mixture of lever, motors and hydraulics. Its trunk even sprays water.

A very good tip for all of you who are going to do it one day.

DON’T follow an elephant very closely.

This guy was born lucky to survive such an unexpected chase by an elephant. Gigantic feet and huge tusks were after him, but the man managed to escape! It’s just unbelievable!

Some fashion designers make crazy things like these shoes that have ten-inch heels and are created from… elephant dung. I wonder who would wear them. Mmmmm…
